A lot of negative posts here, but AI to advance science seems like basically the best possible use case. The more ultrawealthy people who want to throw billions at it, the better.


It depends on how much they're actually doing in the service of science, and how much is "flashy AI stuff".

I don't have a lot of hope that it's the former, to be honest. These people have burned up all their goodwill.


Wasn't OpenAI also for the embetterment of society? Looking at how things went for all high profile AI companies, why should we trust this one? Even if they got a saint to run as CEO they would find a way to screw humanity over.
